Tag | Least Popular Books On My TBR

Almost a year ago I looked at the most popular books on my TBR for a tag and I thought it would be fun to do something similar today! But instead of looking at the most popular books, I’ll take a look at the least popular books. I once again used my own-TBR shelf on Goodreads to do this and sorted the shelf by number of ratings and by average rating. Just like last time I looked at both those things. There was some overlap between both of them last time, do you think it will be the same this time around? Let’s get into it!

Least popular by number of ratings

Almost a year ago I looked at the most popular books on my TBR for a tag and I thought it would be fun to do something similar today! But instead of looking at the most popular books, I’ll take a look at the least popular books. I once again used my own-TBR shelf on Goodreads to do this and sorted the shelf by number of ratings and by average rating. Just like last time I looked at both those things. There was some overlap between both of them last time, do you think it will be the same this time around? Let’s get into it!

This is a Dutch book so I guess it’s not that weird that has so little ratings. I have a feeling this will also score high in regards of the low rating. To be honest, I’m not too interested in this book anymore and I might unhaul it.

I really like having this book and I think most people who own this wouldn’t leave a Goodreads rating for it. So this one feels a little bit off haha. I will read small parts from this one but it’s not a book I read back to back quickly.

I’m so sad this series has so little ratings! The first two books made it to my TTT for books with less than 2000 ratings. I am happy to see it has a high average rating and I really hope to pick it up soon before I forget everything that happens in the first two books haha.

4. Asylum 54.0 – Nadege Richards66 ratings – 3,88 average

I got this one in a subscription box and have never heard anyone talk about it. Makes sense that it made it’s way onto this list! To be honest, I’m not that interested in reading this one and I might unhaul this one as well.

I’m actually currently reading this! This was a birthday present from Candyce and I started reading it right away haha. I’m not super surprised to see it on this list although I had expected a little more ratings.

I love psychology and I love popular psychology books. It’s a lot of fun seeing psychology principles used to understand popular tv show and movies and such. I don’t read this super quick and it will be a while before I finish it. But I do really enjoy it.

7.Can You Solve My Problems? – Alex Bellos154 ratings – 4,05 average

Another non-fiction! I’m starting to see a pattern haha. I am inclined to pick up the more popular non-fiction ones first as it’s not a preferred genre so I like to set myself up for success with these. This one does have a good rating average, so that gives me some hope haha.

8.The Wrong Train – Jeremy de Quidt445 ratings – 3,55 average

I have never heard of this book before I came across it in the Waterstones. Makes sense it has so little ratings! I have started reading this one and it started promising! Hopefully I can continue reading it soon and will it keep on entertaining me.

9.Suspicious Minds – Rob Brotherton451 ratings – 3,78 average

Anddd another non-fiction and a psychology one at that. I think I will highly enjoy this one and was actually expecting it to have more ratings. Probably because I have heard people talk about this one before.

10.Thief’s Cunning – Sarah Ahiers482 ratings – 3.67 average

This is the sequel/companion to Assassin’s Heart, a book I haven’t heard too many people talk about. And I have heard no one, expect some of my closest bookish friends talk about the sequel. I don’t have super high expectations but I do hope for a fast paced read.

Everyone I know that read this book loved it! So how did it find it’s way onto my list? I’m pretty confused to be honest haha. This is another book I already started and I hope to continue it soon. I was enjoying it so far!

The synopsis really intrigued me but I’ve kinda forgotten about the book since. I have had it for a couple of years I believe but I’m just never inclined to pick it up. It’s getting another chance but it might find it’s way to the unhaul pile soonish.

I own this one in Dutch and I’m very happy about that. Adult fantasy can be pretty dense and it would take me so much energy to read a big fantasy novel in English. For example I read all of the Game of Thrones books in Dutch.

6.Vassa in the Night – Sarah Porter4.966 ratings – 3,45 average

I have been wanting to read this one for ever! Hopefully I can start this one soonish. Some trusted reviewers really liked this one so I’m going to go ahead and assume I will like it too.

This is another double one, I’m sad to see it doesn’t have a higher rating but I guess that’s just the way it is. Hopefully I will enjoy it more!

8.Fire&Heist – Sarah Beth Durst
1.390 ratings – 3,47 average

I loved the synopsis for this one, but a friend of mine read this one and she absolutely hated the book haha. You can imagine how scared I am off reading this one now haha. I truly hope I will enjoy it more because the idea of the book sounds right up my alley.

This is the sequel to Magnolia, a book I haven’t read yet. If I go off these average ratings I’ll hold off on this one if I don’t love the first one. But I have to read that one first before I can say something sensible about Aerie.

And this is also a sequel, but this is the Rebel Belle sequel. I had heard positive things about this series when I bought it but have since seen quite some negative reviews. For me these books can either way and I just have to experience them for myself!

There was quite some range of books in this one! I think the most popular ones were a lot more from the same authors and more expected. This was so interesting to look at. Do you ever look at things like this? Let me know in the comments!

Candyce and I were planning on doing another Middle Grade May this month. And as it turned out the TBR and Beyond Facebook group we’re both part off is doing Middle Grade May as group reading challenge this month. So
